Tracing method and system and terminal equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a tracing method and system and terminal equipment, and relates to the field of mobile security. The tracing method comprises the steps that the terminal equipment responds a preset trigger condition to conduct identity authentication on a user using the terminal equipment at present secretly; on the condition that identity authentication fails, the terminal equipment acquires information for tracing the terminal equipment secretly; and the terminal equipment sends the acquired information for tracing the terminal equipment out to track the terminal equipment. Accordingto the method, by conducting identity authentication on the user using the terminal equipment at present secretly, acquiring the information for tracking the terminal equipment secretly when identityauthentication fails and sending the information out, tracking can be completed on the condition that a stealer is unaware, the vigilance of the stealer is reduced, and the success rate that the lostterminal equipment is taken back is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of mobile security, in particular to a tracking method and terminal equipment. Background technique [0002] Terminal devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers usually contain a large amount of personal information, so it is very important to ensure the security of terminal devices. [0003] At present, after a terminal device is stolen, the thief often performs operations such as shutting down the device and transferring money in the first time. In the prior art, safety verification means such as setting a power-off password and a transfer password can be used to prevent sensitive operations such as power-off and money transfer by the thief. [0004] However, the setting of security verification means is likely to increase the vigilance of thieves who repeatedly fail to input passwords, thereby unplugging the battery to completely cut off the communication between the terminal device and the outside world, ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the setting of security verification means is likely to increase the vigilance of thieves who repeatedly fail to enter the password, so as to unplug the battery to completely cut off the communication between the terminal device and the outside world, which is even more unfavorable for recovering the stolen terminal device
